SAKE, the poet, is dead. HIS body will be
buried in the Greenwood family lot in
Brooklyn. Mr. SAKE died at the residence
of his only son, Charles SAKE, late yester.
day afternoon. He had been practically o
recluse for the last ten years, the many
family bereavements which he suffered
undermining his reason to some degree.

Highgatc, VT, and graduated from the Middle
bury College in 1885, -Four years later he was
admitted to the practice Of law at st. Albans,

became the editor of the Burlington Sentinel,
which he conducted as Democratic
party organ for five years. He was
repeatedly the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor but never secured political office until
1851, when he was elected States Attorney.
After faithfully serving out his term he bid
farewell to law and politics and devoted him
self to literature and lecturing, winning world
wide fame as o satirical writer. Some fif-
teen years ago Mr.. SAKE failed in health
and retired from active life to
q quiet home at Albany, N. Y. His
brilliant mind gave no warning OF the collapse
until one day in 1872 in an Iowa town. he
was stricken while about to board n train.
Since that time he has produced nothing.
His earliest poems QS43) were published
in the Knickerbocker Magazine, but 1t
was not until progress, Satire" ap-
peared in New York in 1876 that gen.
eral attention was attracted to the new humor-
list. From that time on to 1869 Mr. Sake was
one OF the most prolific producers of verse in
the English lanuage. Early in 1870 Mr.. Sake
completed satirical translation OF "rhe
Clouds Of Aristophanes," and this was his last
work OF importance.l
